Bring into your everyday life the celebratory garments
that once adorned Japan’s beautiful brides and blessed their futures
The Uchikake originated in the late 16th century during the Azuchi-Momoyama period as a prestigious outer garment worn by aristocratic women of the samurai class.
During the Edo period (17th–19th century), it evolved from court attire into a traditional bridal garment, worn to celebrate family bonds and prosperity.
Each design and pattern carries wishes for happiness, longevity, and harmony.
We repurpose vintage Uchikake from the 1950s onward into interior furnishings. The craftsmanship and materials — pure silk and 24-karat gold thread — make each piece a rare treasure that is nearly impossible to obtain today.
A one-of-a-kind presence
The patterns on Uchikake feature auspicious motifs filled with celebration and blessings.
They carry prayers for the bride’s future to be rich and filled with happiness, and for her family to prosper.
The artisans who weave the Uchikake, the beauty professionals who elegantly dress the bride in the kimono, and the family who chose that Uchikake with heartfelt wishes —
this chain of happiness continues into the present day.
Tsuru
The crane is a symbol of longevity and marital harmony. Because cranes mate for life once they pair, they represent eternal love. In bridal ceremonies, the crane is regarded as the most prestigious of all auspicious motifs.
Sakura
Cherry blossoms are the quintessential flower of Japan. As heralds of spring, they signify new beginnings and a happy future. Their beauty also makes them a symbol of love and joy.
Peony
The peony, often called the “King of Flowers,” is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Its large, magnificent blooms represent splendor, beauty, and the flourishing of family.
flowingWater
The flowing water pattern represents an ever-flowing stream and symbolizes purity and vitality. In bridal ceremonies, it carries the wish for a peaceful and unending life together as husband and wife.
